I saw there is an existing new thread on Ami Organics which is closed. The person who started is not updating the same so that it can be opened, I guess. Since I intend to provide more information I am hoping this one remains open. Alternatively I can move this information there if that thread is opened

Key risks & concerns
Higher RMAT cost, inability to pass on to impact performance: The company’s primary raw materials include ethyl alcohol, dimethylformamide, isopropyl alcohol and toluene. It does not have long term agreements with most raw material suppliers. The company’s inability to correctly forecast demand and supply may have a material adverse impact on working capital, business and results of operations
Loss of customer to impede performance – Loss of customer or lower business growth from large customers owing to intense competition can impede the growth of the business
Regulatory related challenges for any plant to hurt performance – Since the company operates in intermediates for pharma API, it has to follow stringent norms as per USFDA and REACH certification.
Any irregularities can result in a ban on manufacturing activities and thereby impact the financial performance of the company
